I’m interested in how people and organisations make decisions under uncertainty, and how those decisions can be improved.
I tend to work at the intersection of:
- decision systems and practical judgment
- capital allocation and how time is used
- building tools that make better decisions easier
In practice, this has meant working on applied systems - most recently as CEO of ISDA/Virtual Agronomist - where the challenge is translating complex data into simple, useful decisions at scale.
More broadly, I’m interested in:
- how expertise scales (or fails to)
- how systems shape behaviour
- where simple models outperform complex ones
Background
I read mathematics at the University of Cambridge and spent several years in technology, startups and international NGOs before moving into applied systems work.
Along the way I’ve been interested in:
- programming
- game theory and decision-making
- building small tools and models
Other things
Outside of work:
- Tai Chi Chuan
- photography
- an ongoing interest in horology
